candy heart

Sugar love token

Candy hearts are small, pastel-colored sugar candies shaped like hearts, typically printed with short romantic or friendly messages: Be Mine, True Love, Text Me.

Associated almost exclusively with Valentine's Day, they're exchanged as tokens of affection, though their chalky texture makes them more symbolic than appetizing.

Also called conversation hearts or sweethearts.
